| Singles sentence explanations for complex ideas tend to cluster cognitive short cuts (more formally -- cognitive misers 1). This is because new ideas/concepts may require new words or words outside the scope of the 5th grade rule. An idiom is a cognitive miser of sorts. ----- Example - search engine search - familiar vocabulary engine - cognitive short cut - machine
- technical
- related to car
- transports from point A to B (car)
- familiar
- requires steering (car)
- most are comfortable with operating (car etc)
-----It is a hack to communicate when the available vocabulary does not convey the true intention of the speaker. And/or the existing level of vocabulary is inefficient. ---- Videos: Star Trek Example: http://youtu.be/ukMNfTnI5M8 Archer Example: http://youtu.be/GzHhgPgO7wA *1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_miser https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literacy_in_the_United_States |
You are saying to communicate complex ideas one tends to need words a 5th grader wouldn't know.
I was saying to communicate an idea one should fit it an a single sentence.
Unless I missed something, we are not in disagreement. You are arguing for word quality, I'm arguing for word quantity. You don't disagree that boiling an idea to a single sentence is good, and I learned something new from you. The cognitive miser theory is fascinating.
Thank you for having put the effort to follow up.
